Here’s a new one for you. Twitch streamer JustKeth recently received a ban from the video sharing platform for, of all things, showing her feet on camera.
Why would Twitch ban a streamer for showing her feet on camera? Because the platform considered it to be “offering sexual content.”
So, because JustKeth showed her feet during a live-stream she received a three day ban from streaming.
The Thailand-based Twitch content creator showed her feet to her viewers during a comical game she was playing with supporters where they donate $20 for a chance to spin a wheel. Whatever the wheel lands on, she has to do.
Some of the tasks she had on the wheel were answering DMs, squatting, or not being able to drink Pepsi for five hours.
Another one of those things was to show her feet to the camera.
Big mistake, according to Twitch.

“Can we normalize the feet like it should be!” JustKeth wrote in a followup tweet. “Bruh it aint any sexual the way i troll it to my viewers, they all made this emote while im doing it >>🤮🤮.”
According to Dexerto, “Twitch’s community guidelines do, however, state that ‘fetishizing behavior or activity, such as focusing on body parts for sexual gratification or erotic role play” are prohibited.'”
They also pointed out that selling “any sexual content in exchange for money, services, or items of value” is another cause for her being banned.
“Twitch was wrong. A lot more sexual streams out there. This was definitely playful and joking. Wish they would look at the context before deciding to ban,” wrote one fan on Instagram about the ban.
“That’s ridiculous. Twitch is a mess with stupid rules and hypocrisy. Let the thongs and teeny tiny bikinis alone but ban for words on a wheel,” commented another.
“Twitch needs to lighten up and maybe do better investigation before banning people so quickly. Enjoy your few days off Keth hopefully they do better,” someone else wrote in support.
The good news for JustKeth and her fans is that it appears she only has one more day before she can get back to streaming.
